Chapter 100 Tianqing Taoist Temple, Wild Buddhist Sect
In the pitch-black night, there was only the sporadic sound of wind blowing, as if someone was singing in my ear, but the singing was extremely unpleasant.

Shen Bai looked at the words formed by the smoke in front of him, touched his chin, and thought to himself: "Another weird thing."

What he didn't expect was that he would meet two monks in Xuanxin Temple who were not from Xuanxin Temple.

What I didn’t expect was to see new monsters here.

Shen Bai pondered for a moment and decided to continue watching to see what these two people were trying to do.

At this moment, the amber in his arms was still emitting a demonic aura.

Shen Bai understood. As Amber was a strange beast, its sense of touch was much stronger than that of humans, and at this moment, all the murderous aura of Amber was directed at the strange creature.

"Quiet."

Thinking of this, Shen Bai stretched out his hand and pressed it on Amber's head.

Amber, who was originally as ferocious as a tiger, quickly lost the fiery aura on her body after being calmed down by Shen Bai. In just the blink of an eye, it disappeared completely, as if it had never appeared.

Shen Bai let go of his hand and looked at it patiently.

Because Shen Bai used the Shadow Walk technique, the two monks did not notice Shen Bai's trace and started talking in low voices.

In this silent environment, the conversation between the two people was carried by the breeze and reached Shen Bai's ears.

"This is it, the place where the six wheels of the Xuanxin Temple Buddha are hidden."

"Be careful, there are invisible formations everywhere here, use the trick."

"Well, don't worry, now that we're here, this thing will definitely succeed."

As the two men were talking, one of the monks raised the blood-stained handkerchief in his hand.

Shen Bai was wondering whether he should take action to stop the two monks.

Shen Bai had already figured out the conversation between the two of them.

The most important thing about this Buddhist conference is that it allows many people in the world to find opportunities through the Six Wheels of Buddha.

The important six wheels of Buddha are kept in this old hall.

Shen Bai thought that since the other party had sent people to cause trouble, he might as well just capture them directly.

But before Shen Bai could do anything, he heard footsteps.

"Buddha has mercy on us. Since the two monks from the Wild Buddhist Sect are here, please don't leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Ku Yun, along with a large group of monks, walked into the courtyard.

"No, I fell into a trap!"

When Elder Kuyun appeared, the other two monks immediately reacted and shouted.

Without any hesitation, they turned around and walked towards the corner of the wall not far away.

The speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, it left behind a trail of afterimages.

Elder Kuyun raised his hand and said, "The Ye Buddhist sect is really scheming. They specially sent people who are proficient in body skills, but we had already expected this."

A golden light emerged from Elder Kuyun's right hand.

The Buddha's light was holy and solemn. It immediately condensed after appearing and turned into overwhelming golden light in an instant, covering the courtyard.

The two fleeing monks had no time to dodge and were instantly hit by the golden Buddha light. They spat out blood from their mouths and became extremely weak.

Before the two monks could get up, the monks from Xuanxin Temple stepped forward and held them down.

Elder Kuyun clasped his hands together and said, "Send them to the Lord of the Heavenly Supervisory Department and let them deal with it."

Many monks nodded and left together.

Elder Ku Yun picked up the blood-stained handkerchief on the ground, then looked towards a shadow and said with a smile, "Since Lord Shen is here, why hide?"

Shen Bai was still watching the show, taking in the entire process.

Especially after Elder Ku Yun took action, Shen Bai narrowed his eyes.

This move was so powerful that Shen Bai even wanted to compete with him.

But what followed was Elder Ku Yun's words. Shen Bai knew that he had been exposed, so he simply stopped hiding and walked out of the darkness.

Shen Bai stroked the amber in his arms and said with a smile, "Until now, no one has been able to see through my concealment technique. I didn't expect Elder Ku Yun to see through it at a glance."

Elder Kuyun shook his head and said, "No, if I were outside, I wouldn't be able to see it. It's just that the Buddha's light in Xuanxin Temple is at its peak, and with the help of the Buddha's light, I was able to detect it. Lord Shen, your abilities are indeed diverse, and I am not as good as them."

Shen Bai grasped the hilt of the Hanyue sword at his waist and said, "Isn't this the place where the Buddha's Six Wheels are hidden?"

Elder Kuyun was slightly stunned: "What do you mean by that?"

Shen Bai said calmly, "If someone could break through the guards of the Jiantian Division and then the Xuanxin Temple and even reach this place, then it must not be something these two scumbags can do. Plus, Elder Kuyun just happened to show up, so I'm afraid he's just fishing."

Elder Kuyun reacted and said with a smile: "Master Shen is indeed very smart, but it is like this. We have already told Master Jian before that this was done on purpose in order to identify some enemies of the Yefo Sect and ensure safety."

"Wild Buddhism? Is it similar to the Wild Taoism?" Shen Bai asked.

Before, when dealing with the Shang'e Sect, Shen Bai had heard of the Ye Dao Sect. Now a Ye Fo Sect has appeared. Shen Bai guessed that they were probably of the same type.

Elder Kuyun nodded and said, "Yes, that's true. They are just a group of people taking shortcuts."

"Master Shen, it's getting late now. Why don't you go back and rest? You need to conserve your energy for tomorrow's Dharma Conference."

This was just a minor incident.

Shen Bai didn't take it seriously. After all, nothing happened yet.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai prepared to go back to the house and continue to improve his proficiency in the Blood Sword Dance.

But before Shen Bai could take two steps, a sound of wind came from behind him.

Shen Bai turned around and saw a blood-stained handkerchief being thrown at him.

He took it subconsciously, raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Kuyun, what do you mean?"

Elder Ku Yun smiled and said, "Just consider it a greeting gift from Xuanxin Temple. Lord Shen is a distinguished guest of Xuanxin Temple, and Xuanxin Temple doesn't like such dirty and strange things. So why not give it to Lord Shen?"

Shen Bai said: "Xuanxin Temple really thinks highly of me."

Elder Kuyun clasped his hands together and said, "Master Shen is definitely not an ordinary person. This trip is just to establish a good relationship."

Shen Bai didn't say anything more. The strange creatures were indeed very important to him.

He put away the strange object and said, "The Wild Buddhist Sect doesn't have only this trick. After all, the strength of these two people is too low."

In his opinion, if these two people really came for Buddha Liulun, their strength could not be so low.

He believed that this was a trial by fire.

Elder Kuyun said, "Actually, we also wanted to see if the Ye Fo Men were coming. Now that we know they are coming, we can prepare a way to deal with them."

Shen Bai understood, it turned out that both sides were testing each other.

The Ye Fomen was trying to test whether Buddha Liulun was really here, while Xuanxin Temple was testing whether the Ye Fomen had come.

"Thank you very much. If you need me in the future, just let me know."

Shen Bai turned around and prepared to leave the yard.

Now that things have been clarified, Shen Bai is ready to go back and improve his proficiency in the Blood Sword Dance.

Having wasted some time tonight, Shen Bai plans to go back and make up for it.

"Don't panic, Lord Shen." Elder Ku Yun called out to Shen Bai.

Shen Bai asked, "What else?"

Elder Kuyun pondered and said, "Although Xuanxin Temple is well prepared for this Buddha Six Wheels, we are always worried that there may be some mistakes. If something unexpected happens, we hope that Lord Shen can help."

Shen Bai nodded and said, "I am originally from the Tianjian Division, and this is my duty."

Elder Kuyun raised his hand and said, "Since that's the case, Lord Shen, take care."

Shen Bai said no more and turned and left.

Soon, Elder Ku Yun was the only one left in the hall.

Elder Ku Yun did not stop either and turned to leave.

……

Time passed slowly, and a day passed in the blink of an eye.

When the next day came, Shen Bai came out of his frenzied state.

[Blood Sword Dance +300]

At this moment, his proficiency increased again, and Shen Bai was further away from the second qualitative change of the Blood Sword Dance.

In Shen Bai's hand was a blood-stained handkerchief.

"I still need evil energy, a lot of evil energy." Shen Bai thought to himself.

Now, Shen Bai no longer had any evil spirit, and even the blood-stained handkerchief could not be quickly identified.

In addition, the second qualitative change requires ten strands of evil spirits, and Shen Bai suddenly felt that he seemed to be poor again.

"When this matter is over, I might be able to look for it myself in my spare time." Shen Bai thought to himself. Just as he made up his mind, there was a knock on the door.

Shen Bai put away the blood-stained handkerchief and asked, "Who is it?"

Outside the door, the voice of the young monk came: "Master Shen, the Dharma Assembly is about to begin. The elder asked me to come over and let Master Shen go."

Today is the day when the Buddhist Dharma Conference begins, and Shen Bai certainly remembers it.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"Okay, Mr. Shen."

After receiving the response, the young monk turned around and left without stopping.

After the little monk left, Shen Bai packed up, left the house, and walked towards the largest hall in Xuanxin Temple.

……

Outside the main hall, a large group of people had gathered on the open space.

There was a hint of excitement on everyone's face.

This is an opportunity and also the most important part of this Buddhist conference.

In the past, most Buddhist conferences were held for three days.

On the first day, everyone discussed Buddhism together.

The next day, people from Jianghu communicated with each other and sorted out their feelings.

On the third day, a grand vegetarian banquet was held by Xuanxin Temple.

Finally, the conference ended.

Shen Bai had not expected that the Buddhist Conference would be so simple, but facts proved that compared with the Buddhist Conferences in previous lives, it omitted too many procedures.

After all, even Xuanxin Temple is a force in the martial arts world, and many processes will be simplified.

As soon as he stepped outside the main hall, Shen Bai met someone familiar.

"I am Wuhua, a humble monk, and nice to meet you, Mr. Shen." Wuhua, wearing a white monk's robe, said with his hands clasped together.

Shen Bai took a look and said with a smile: "Your strength has improved and has reached the Five Internal Organs Realm."

Wuhua nodded and said, "I haven't been out since we left Fenglinzhou. Now I can finally come out and take a breath. Master Shen, follow me."

With Wuhua leading the team, Shen Bai also gladly accepted it.

Soon, Shen Bai, led by Wuhua, walked to the front of the open space.

There are many cushions placed in a semicircle at the front, and many people are already sitting there.

There are also many monks from Xuanxin Temple who are constantly laying out cushions. Obviously, these are arranged for the guests coming to Xuanxin Temple.

"Mr. Shen, you can just sit here." Wuhua brought Shen Bai to the front seat and sat down with Shen Bai.

Shen Bai asked, "Today's process doesn't seem right."

Wuhua replied, "The process has been simplified. This time the focus is on the Six Wheels of Buddha, so the corresponding Buddhist research is no longer necessary."

Shen Bai looked around and said, "Actually, I've always wanted to ask, Xuanxin Temple is so generous, it really benefits everyone in Fenglin State."

Wuhua shook his head and said, "Xuanxin Temple dares not disobey the words of the ancestor. In addition, although Xuanxin Temple is a Buddhist temple, it is ultimately a force of Fenglin Province. In fact... there are also some human relations and accidents."

Although the words did not explain it clearly, Shen Bai knew the reason.

The words of the ancestor are one thing, and the other is that Xuanxin Temple is doing this, which is equivalent to making good friends in Fenglin State.

As long as you accept this gift, you will be considered to be indebted to Xuanxin Temple. If there is any problem in the future, even if it is for the sake of Buddha Liulun, you will have to help out at least.

While the two were talking, a figure was suddenly arranged to sit not far from Shen Bai.

Shen Bai felt that someone was looking in his direction. He followed the gaze and saw a Taoist priest who was carefully looking at him.

"Who is this?"

Everyone passing by, whether they were from the martial arts world or from powerful forces, saluted the Taoist priest with respect when they passed by him.

This kind of respect has nothing to do with the Taoist's strength, and to Shen Bai, these people's respect seems to come from the heart.

Wuhua sighed upon seeing this: "If there are only nine people left in Tianqing Taoist Temple, alas..."

Shen Bai heard that something was going on and asked curiously.

Wuhua clasped his hands together and said slowly, "If Tianqing Taoist Temple hadn't been damaged in that disaster, there wouldn't be the situation at Qingyun Temple right now. Has Mr. Shen ever heard of the bloody night in Maple Forest State?"

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "I've only been in Maple Forest State for a short time, so I haven't heard of it. Tell me about it."

Wuhua explained, "Many years ago, the Wild Dao Sect and the Wild Buddhist Sect joined forces and contacted at least half of the forces in Maple Forest State in an attempt to overthrow Maple Forest State. That battle was bloody and violent, and Lord Liu of the Heavenly Supervisor led countless masters of various forces to resist."

"But at that time, the Wild Dao Sect and the Wild Buddhist Sect possessed a strange object that could control people's minds, causing our people to fall. The enemy grew in number, and Maple Forest State was in a life-or-death crisis."

When Shen Bai heard this, curiosity flashed in his eyes: "Is there such a thing?"

If, as Wuhua said, there is a strange creature that can control other people's minds, then the battle at that time must have been tragic.

Wuhua sighed, "At that time, no one could save us. All forces believed that we were on the verge of extinction."

"It was then that the Tianqing Taoist Temple stepped forward. They are the largest Taoist temple in Maple Forest State, emphasizing hard training in prosperous times and subduing demons in troubled times."

"Tianqing Taoist Temple has a secret method that uses the lives of all disciples who practice Tianqing secret techniques as a guide to condense the supreme Taoist fruit."

"Finally, the abbot consumed the supreme Dao fruit and, overnight, destroyed the Wild Daoist and Wild Buddhist sects, causing them to collapse and break apart. But when we found him, the abbot had already passed away."

"Only nine disciples remained in the entire Tianqing Taoist Temple. Overnight, the largest force in the entire Maple Forest State perished for Maple Forest State."

Having said that, the respect in Wuhua's eyes deepened.

After a brief pause, Wuhua continued.

"Lord Liu was deeply moved by the actions of the Tianqing Taoist Temple and once said that if anyone in Fenglin Province disrespected the Tianqing Taoist Temple, the Tianjiansi would execute them first and report to the emperor later."

"Those forces that survived have now become very well-established forces in Maple Forest State. They have also made a promise that as long as it concerns the Tianqing Taoist Temple, they will definitely respond to any request."

"This is a force forged with lives... They embody the Taoist principles of non-contention and contention."

When Shen Bai heard this, he looked towards Tianqing Taoist Temple with a bit of respect.

He thought of his previous life, an incident that involved an entire nation.

Many Taoist masters came down the mountain with swords in hand, sacrificing their lives for the people. There was once a Taoist temple, but only a few of them remain.

Shen Baifei is not a hero. He is also afraid of death and he thinks he cannot be a hero.

But it did not prevent him from admiring these people who were going to die.

While the two were communicating, the young Taoist hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked towards Shen Bai and the others.

Shen Bai was slightly stunned.

Although he didn't know why the person from Tianqing Taoist Temple came over, he also stood up from the cushion.

The young Taoist slowly approached and said, "Hello, Lord Shen. I am Chong Ling, nice to meet you, Lord Shen."

Shen Bai bowed and said, "I wonder why Taoist Chong Ling came here?"

Wuhua also stood up and bowed.

Seeing this, many people in the martial arts world also turned their attention over.

Although the Tianqing Taoist Temple declined because of that incident, no one dared to underestimate it.

To put it bluntly, as long as the Tianqing Taoist Temple wanted to, it would have no problem walking around Fenglin Province with the protection of Liu Wufeng and many other forces at the time.

But this Taoist force is really just devoted to hard practice, just like the principles they follow, they live in seclusion in prosperous times and come out in troubled times.

Today, Taoist Chong Ling actually came to find Shen Bai. Everyone present was very confused as to what the reason was.

The young Taoist priest Chong Ling thought for a moment and asked, "Although it may be a bit rude, I would like to ask, does Mr. Shen know any Taoist skills?"

Shen Bai frowned and asked, "Where did you hear that from, Taoist Priest?"

Taoist Priest Chong Ling did not hide anything and said, "Qingyun Temple once came to Tianqing Taoist Temple, saying that Master Shen had injured a Qingyun Temple disciple at the city gate and asked Tianqing Taoist Temple to make the decision, but we refused."

"Tianqing Taoist Temple has never participated in these power struggles. We just want to practice in peace. But we also asked about Master Shen and learned that Master Shen should know a Taoist technique."

The conversation between the two of them attracted everyone's attention.

When they heard that Shen Bai also knew a Taoist technique, they all exclaimed in surprise.

"He... actually knows both Buddhist and Taoist techniques. With such cultivation, isn't he afraid that he will end up being mediocre?"

"I don't know, but for now, it seems there's no problem with hitting us."

"Master Chong Ling hasn't talked so much with others for a long time. I don't know what it is about."

……

Shen Bai listened to the voices around him and said with a smile: "Yes, I do have some skills. That Qingyun Temple is really a thief with unrepentant intentions."

Taoist Chong Ling shook his head and said, "We will not interfere with the affairs of Qingyun Temple. In fact, they have already deviated from the nature of practicing Taoism. I came here just to ask a favor. I want to see Master Shen."
